Dear Friends,

continuous serious threats to Shahanur Islam, a human rights defender and lawyer in
Bangladesh. The latest incident of intimidation occurred on 15-16 June 2009. Mr. Islam
received a threatening phone call thrice within an hour, on 15 June; and at 12:00am on
16 June respectively. The caller used foul language, which carried the message of sexual
harassment towards Mr. Islam’s female members of his family. He also threatened Mr.
Islam that he could ‘attack him at any time’. Despite Mr. Islam’s efforts, there has
still been no action taken by the police authorities. Also, the concerned police
stations are trying to discourage him to file charges.
